    I search way, way more than 300/month. I’m also not paying $10/month AND give my search history to a company that I made transaction with.

      the 300/month is for the 5$ plan? possible “fair use”-like hidden limits aside, the 10$ sounds unlimited
      from their front page they claim that “We do not log or associate searches with an account”, and their privacy page is fairly detailed

        Businesses like this always end up veering towards changing privacy policies to the worse.

        And depending on your threat model, not even a good privacy policy is enough.

          What do you mean “like these”?

          Usually businesses changing privacy policies are the ones without a revenue model that need to figure it out somehow, and aim to IPO.

          10$/month way more revenue than they could be able to get with ads, and sure, let’s hope they don’t want to IPO, because that’s the root of all enshittification.

      Are you more content with instead giving your search history to a company whose business model isn’t as transparent?
